If you haven’t read my last post on the subjective experience of a Scorpio Rising then it’s best to start here.
In November, we arrive into the heart of the foggy fall, the misted mirrors and the thin veil of the astrologically-speaking “time for introspection”, also known as Scorpio Season.
The golden honey glow of Citrine is like that piercing Sun of transparency to bring confidence and conviction to the equally ambitious yet hidden motives of the secretive Scorpio.

Some historical attributes of Citrine
Citrine has been greatly appreciated since ancient times, especially by the Greeks who valued it as a decorative gem and by the Romans who knew about its metaphysical virtues. As of 1385, Citrine was the name given to all yellow coloured gems, until it was properly distinguished from Imperial Topaz and other similar coloured stones.
Also known as the 'Merchant Stone’ , Citrine has always been associated with incredible wealth and abundance.
Geology brief on Citrine
Amethyst and Smoky Quartz crystals may be heat treated to resemble Citrine, as it is quite rare in its natural form.
Some natural Citrine deposits include Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Madagascar, Zambia, Russia, Spain and Mexico — with the Congo being the leading locality where natural Kundalini Citrine Cathedrals are found.
The 3 stages of Scorpio explained
With the New Moon at 9° Scorpio at 8:47 am edt. on November 1st, 2024, coinciding with the end of the 1st decan of this sign, I’m sure you would like to know the dimensions of what this means.
Not all Scorpios are the same.
The one most of you have in mind is the Traditional Scorpio, illustrated by the sting and revenge ridden archetype of the Scorpion, and born between October 23rd and November 2nd.
Those belong to the 1st decan of the sign, from degrees 0-9, and are ruled by Pluto and Mars. Having the rulership of two malefic celestial bodies, also being the traditional planets associated with Scorpio, these natives will go through the deep experience of the highs and lows of life. They are described as individuals who ooze intensity, and by proxy may suffer through the many griefs of an ever changing self, the passion of an insatiable urge to connect with the rejection mirrored by their lover’s shadows and the suspicion that comes with constantly investigating other’s true motives.
As the decans progress, the Scorpio natives transform — which brings us to phase two: the Evolved Scorpio.
This one is characterized by the Eagle archetype, or the first rebirth (see the Rebirth of the Eagle Story). These natives are of the 2nd decan of the sign, from degrees 10-19, and are born between November 3rd and November 12th. They are ruled by Pisces and therefore Neptune, making their dark essence idealistic and dreamy. They become so enthralled with the unseen realms of emotional intentions that they early on develop a strong sense of uncanny intuition. They are seekers of the authentic essence of truth when it comes to the power of seduction, making them quite possessive and obsessed with romance.
The metaphysical properties of Citrine (soon to be featured in its own edition of “Know Your Crystals” Magazine) come in handy when ascending to this next and last phase of Scorpio.
Citrine is one of the top Solar Plexus Chakra stones, bringing it back into alignment if it becomes underractive or overractive. This center is also responsible for the vice of insecurity and control.
• It awakens and stimulates the willpower center.
• It's the go-to manifestation stone that enables the process of transformation of your thoughts and dreams into your physical reality.
• It increases wealth and attracts better career opportunities.
• It encourages smart investments and opens the channel of abundance coming your way.
And most importantly, it fortifies the ability to have confidence and trust in yourself, which allows to release control and paranoid insecurities.
In the 3rd decan of Scorpio, from 20-29 degrees of the sign, these natives born between November 13th and November 21st, are ruled by the Cancer Zodiac and by the Moon. This gives them a huge protective quality and makes them the most cryptic out of all Scorpios. Citrine will benefit these natives the most. As their archetype is represented by the Phoenix, they will experience the deepest transformation of all — that of the subconscious mind and emotional body. They intuitively are guided to complete a fulfilling rebirth from the ashes to properly alchemize all of the manipulative and immature emotional tendencies they may have in their arsenal of sometimes wounded reactions. This takes trust and the ability to be centered whilst shedding the parts we generally identify with the most: our vulnerabilities. This position of Scorpio craves undying love and intimacy, but needs to learn how to break down the fortress guarding their heart first.
Going back to this New Moon on November 1st, 2024 — the themes of the 1st decan of Scorpio will emerge in the area of your life that corresponds to your Scorpio ruled House.
